Horse racing newsletter: Santa Anita reopens strong
Hello, my name is John Cherwa and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter as we start to get back to normal, if that’s possible.
There seems to be little doubt that fans were ready for Santa Anita to return to racing. The track pulled in a 184% increase from the last Friday the track ran before being shut down because of the coronavirus.
The nine-race card pulled in $11,207,076 in wagering compared to $3,944,391 on March 20. While an impressive weekday number, it is short of the $19.02 million on opening day or the $17.48 million on March 12, the day of the San Felipe and Santa Anita Handicap.
The key to getting permission to reopen was keeping as many people away as possible. In this case, it’s estimated that there were fewer than 100 people who were considered essential. Among that group were gate starters, outriders, pony riders, ambulance drivers, track veterinarians and, our favorites, bugler Jay Cohen and race caller Frank Mirahmadi.
We’ll be watching the weekend handles to see if this love for the return of racing holds up.
Now, on to one of our favorites.
Ron Flatter’s weekly insights
It’s time for our weekly contribution from Ron Flatter of the Vegas Stats and Information Network. He offers up some comments about the wagering problems currently in Nevada. Ron, what insights do you have?
“Other than some obvious clues — like horses running in the afternoon on dirt and grass — there were some more subtle signs that racing was back Friday at Santa Anita.
“Anyone tuning in to the track feed or watching TVG saw more than a few examples of blinkers on. And that was just with the few humans who were allowed there as long as they practiced coronavirus safety.
“There was the familiar reminder that it pays to listen to what Bob Baffert says before he runs one of his expensive prospects. In this case it was Tale Of The Union, his $925,000 colt that had not raced since an eight-length debut win nearly two years ago at Del Mar.
“ ’He probably needs one more stiff work.’ That is what Baffert told Brad Free of the Daily Racing Form on Wednesday.
“Bettors who made Tale Of The Union a 3-5 favorite only to see him finish seventh in Friday’s third race probably need one more stiff drink.
“It was just another example of how lower-level races may be overloaded with higher-level horses for the time being. Since Santa Anita and Golden Gate and Churchill Downs were closed for so long, and since Keeneland never opened, and since Belmont Park is still on hold, trainers itching to race their horses have had fewer choices. So, allowance races might look like black-type stakes, which may look like Grade 3s, which may look like Grade 1s for a while.
“And horses training for bigger goals later in the year might look like, well, Tale Of The Union.
“If he destroyed more than a few rolling Pick Three tickets that had him singled, then those good intentions would have been better suited for the bad side of the California-Nevada border. Bad in the sense that Nevada horseplayers who do not have nudge-nudge, wink-wink, capabilities are still shut out from betting on races anywhere.
“It is not just that in its attempt to protect its own bricks-and-mortar casinos that the state anachronistically disallows advanced-deposit wagering. But casinos are still closed, and race and sportsbook operators have opted not to activate pari-mutuel wagering on their mobile apps. As one of them put it, ‘It’s not worth what little money we might get.’
“But even if all the racebooks were open and the horse options were open on tablets and phones, not every track would be available to Nevada bettors. In spite of claims from both sides that they were close to an agreement this winter, Churchill Downs Inc. and the Nevada Pari-Mutuel Assn. that represents the casinos never got anything signed, sealed or delivered except their own preview of social distancing.
“To that deal, maybe we will see you in September.
“The NPMA also does not have arrangements for wagering on Fonner Park and Will Rogers Downs, the two tracks that have become way stations for bettors who have been wanting worldwide for action on Mondays and Tuesdays.
“So, when the news broke that TVG would be unable to show races from Churchill Downs, Nevada horseplayers might have muttered ‘been there, done that’ — or some other phrase best left out of this newsletter.
“What makes this especially vexing is that racing has done a lot of good things during the two months since the nation became a shelter-in-place place. It has found ways to keep going in Florida without adding to the pandemic curve. It took a while but it marshaled its forces to reopen in California. And it has moved forward to conduct business as close to usual as allowed in Kentucky and West Virginia.
“What was it Jerry Seinfeld said about clunking their heads together like Moe? Maybe there is an app for that.”

Santa Anita review
It was tough to pick a feature race Friday since there were four allowance/optional claimers, all of the same value. So, we left it up to the indefatigable Mike Willman of Santa Anita to pick one. He chose the third, a 5½ -furlong race for horses 3 and up. And the winner was an upset by Oil Can Knight at 20-1.
He won a three-way photo by a head and paid $42.60, $13.00 and $5.60 for trainer Steve Knapp and jockey Edwin Maldonado. Kneedeepinsnow was second and Galilean finished third.
“Wow, I’m tired,” Maldonado told Willman. “I’m very happy, especially now, that I have a new agent, Tony Matos. Tony’s had some of the greatest riders of all time and I’m very optimistic about our chances.
“We had five horses to ride on the first Sunday that was canceled (March 29), so it’s great to be back. Steve told me we had a good shot with this horse today. He said to just put him in the race and it worked out.”
Santa Anita preview
The second card since the reopening is another good one. There are 98 horses entered over 10 races. It’s pretty easy math to see that’s an average of 9.8 horses a race. And you can pretty much guess that bettors will really like field sizes. There are two Cal-bred stakes races and four on the turf. There are also three allowance/optional claiming races.
The first stakes is the $150,000 Echo Eddie Stakes for 3-year-old Cal-breds going six furlongs. The favorite, at 5-2, is Big Sweep for trainer Mark Glatt and jockey Flavien Prat. He won his only race by 2¼ lengths at Santa Anita on March 14.
Better Trip Nick is the second choice at 3-1. He’s won four of his six races, but all those wins were at Golden Gate Fields. Two of those were minor stakes late last year. He finished third in the Cal Cup Derby on Jan. 18 at Santa Anita. William Delia is the trainer and Umberto Rispoli picks up the mount. The race is scheduled to go at 3:06 p.m.
The other stakes is the $150,000 Evening Jewel Stakes, which has the same conditions as the Echo Eddie but for fillies. Bulletproof One, who ran her first race on May 1 of last year, is the 5-2 favorite for Peter Miller and Abel Cedillo. She has won five of her 10 starts, including her last two races at Golden Gate. She has $257,922 in earnings.
The second choice is Warren’s Showtime at 3-1 for Craig Lewis and Jorge Velez. She has won four of seven running at Del Mar and Santa Anita. She won her last two starts, the China Doll and Cal Cup Oaks. Post time is listed as 4:08 p.m.
Here are the field sizes, in order: 13, 8, 12 (2 also eligible), 6, 9, 9, 7, 10, 12 (2 ae), 12.
Ciaran Thornton’s SA pick of the day
RACE FIVE: No. 5 Speakerofthehouse (8-1)
Speakerofthehouse won last out on dirt as a first-time Umberto Rispoli angle. Trainer Ian Kruljac now moves back to turf. This horse always had turf ability but alas almost every turf race saw the horse come on too late. Rispoli is the difference maker on turf and I have to think he had some words about moving this horse back there. 8-1 is great value. Speaker has the top back speed in this race as well as the best early speed and closing kick. This gives Umberto lots of options in this race. I love this value we are getting.
Friday’s result: We could not have asked for a better ride or better setup than what we got on Party Town. Party broke great and tracked in second place into the turn before taking a brief lead. However, the dirt was not kind to early speed Friday and the late chargers swallowed Party up late.

Big races preview
A look at graded stakes or races worth $100,000 or more on Saturday. All times PDT.
2:24 Gulfstream (10): $100,000 Musical Romance Stakes, Florida-bred fillies and mares 3 and up, 7 furlongs. Favorite: Lady’s Island (7-5)
3:06 Santa Anita (6): $150,000 Echo Eddie Stakes, Cal-bred 3-year-olds, 6 furlongs. Favorite: Big Sweep (5-2)
4:08 Santa Anita (8): $150,000 Evening Jewel Stakes, Cal-bred 3-year-old fillies, 6 furlongs. Favorite: Bulletproof One (5-2)
Chris Wade’s LA pick of the day
RACE SIX: No. 2 Pappaslileagle (5-1)
She is a big-bodied, trouble-prone runner deluxe with a tendency for gate trouble. In her most recent outing 27 nights ago, she broke slow and bobbled inward at the gate opening. She trailed the eventual runner-up in the race (Kool Foose) by more than a length before finishing strongly to run third. Pappaslileagle will take on Kool Foose once again tonight and if she gets out of the gate cleanly, she has the ability to sail to victory from there. At this price, she’s worth a big look.

CANADIAN LUCK hopped at the start, settled just off the rail then outside a rival on the turn, came three wide into the stretch and improved position. CANDY FURY stalked outside then bid four wide a half mile out, tracked alongside a rival then angled in off the rail on the turn and weakened. TWIRLING DERBY angled in and bid between horses on the backstretch then stalked a bit off the rail, found the inside on the turn and into the stretch and also weakened. NEWELL a bit slow to begin, settled outside then alongside a rival leaving the turn and into the stretch and did not rally. GOBOLDLY a step slow into stride, saved ground chasing the pace, continued inside on the turn and in the stretch and had little left for the drive. VALUATION refused to break out of the gate despite urging from the rider and stood in the stall. The stewards conducted an inquiry into the start before ruling VALUATION was the cause of his own trouble.
